 As I read Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of “they SNOOZE, you LOSE” it made me realize how images, playing music, and tapping emotion into the presentation can make it memorable and meaningful for the audience to remember.  We need to be vigilant in our presentations to keep the audience entertained.  Inserting images and playing music that goes with our content will have a positive effect on our presentation.  Using images and music will be powerful to the audience’s learning and because of that will tap their emotions and have an outcome of positive learning.    As I read this book it makes more aware of what kind of presentations I want to be able to accomplish:  meaningful, memorable, and entertaining.   What I revised on my power point was input sound which captivates the audience and makes them feel more at ease.   I deleted some more words and put some eye catching images to capture the eye of the audience.   These three chapters were very interesting and informative, therefore giving me lots of useful information to be able to proceed with my power point.   I will try effectively to use the suggestions when it comes to creating presentations for my students so they too, can take something positive out of it and in turn use the information presented in their future.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 9: Tapping emotion

Synopsis:  Chapter 9

“Tapping Emotion”

            In reading Chapter 9, it mentions that no matter what words you use either positive or negative they all have a sticky potential.  Of course we want our audience to have a positive impact on our presentation, so we need to make emotions stick.  Knowing that our brains have two sides: right (emotional, musical, and moody) and left (dexterity, facts, and hard data) we want to focus on the right side so that they can have an awesome and fun presentation to remember.  A change of perspective never hurts because many students have life changing experiences around them which are obliged to act when they see the images or listen to music.  When you have a positive emotional charge in words and music it creates profound emotional impact.  As a teacher I realize how I set the mood in my classroom, do I carry the content from my heart to theirs?  As a teacher and presenter we must take the opportunity to create positive feedback and instill good images and music so that our students and audience can tap emotions into our presentations.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 8: Playing music

Synopsis:  Chapter 8

“Playing Music”

            In reading Chapter 8, it reminds us that you sometimes have only an hour to present. How can you attract your audience?  Well, by using images and having flourishing music.  Music is very powerful and can greatly impact the audience.  In this world of ours, all of the experiences we have tend to have an emotional reaction to many events.  Our audience can identify and physically experience different emotions depending on the music you play in your presentations.  The question now is what type of music do you want to have your audience listen to?  The previous chapter about images mentioned that images play a major role, but now this chapter says that starting with music will set the mood even better.  Mood altering music will definitely impact more because if you select the perfect piece and then have an awesome picture you will set the stage for the presentation.  In this chapter, Burmark states, “We know from research and personal experience that music can heighten our emotions as it immerses us in multimedia experiences.  It can instantly uplift our spirits and speed the healing of our bodies.” We now see how music can enrich learning experiences.   Finally, music can help with memory.  There are three certain factors that we can control as presenters:  same music being played during the needs of our learners, the tempo should be the same, and the mood of the topic should match the mood of the music.  Now you will make your presentation more memorable and meaningful by adding great images and having great music to accompany it.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 7: Starting with Images

Synopsis:  Chapter 7

“Starting with Images”

            In reading Chapter 7, images present and offer lots of understanding in a presentation.  Burmark explains how a simple image will have a huge impact on the audience.  Some tips on how to keep the audience’s attention is what she explains about:  setting the stage, using images that illustrate, focusing on the essentials, sizing and placing images, using color, and finally combining words and images. 

            When setting the stage the stronger the correlation, the better the slides. If you have images that illustrate you will have hooked your audience into long term memory which will be meaningful.  When you have found your illustration and have reduced the words you can now worry about where to place the image.  Placing the image full screen will captivate the audience’s eye.  She states that, “color visuals increase willingness to read by up to 80 percent, increases motivation and participation, and that color improves retention.”  Finally, when you mix images, words or audio, the eyes go to the pictures first then to the text. So the whole point is to keep your audience alive and not bored.  This chapter has made me realize how important it is to use all the tips Mrs. Burmark has mentioned.  To make our students life- long learners we must make the best of our presentations and use images.

 As I read Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 of “they SNOOZE, you LOSE” it made me realize how we need to celebrate presenters at how they give presentations.  We need to be efficient, effective, and make connections with the audience’s prior knowledge.  Using visuals and humor will be powerful to the audience’s learning and because of that will stick like Velcro. As I read this book it makes more aware of what kind of presentations I want to be able to accomplish:  meaningful, memorable, and entertaining presentations.  What I revised on my power point was input more colorful pictures with checklists and made connections with the major idea of the slide.  I deleted lots of more words and put some slides with humor to capture the eye of the audience.   These four chapters were very interesting and informative, therefore giving me lots of useful information to be able to proceed with a more concrete power point.   I will try effectively to use the suggestions when it comes to the acronym CHIME (connect, humor, image, music, emotion, story, and senses).

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 6: Harnessing Humor

Synopsis:  Chapter 6

“Harnessing Humor”

            In reading Chapter 6, we find out again that we as presenters do not want to make our audience fall asleep.  Therefore, we need to implement humor into our presentations.  We need to make sure to make our audience have a memorable and meaningful presentation.  How do students or our audience learn?  Well, they learn by laughing, doing, and laughing some more. 

            Burmark states the definition of humor as being, “Neoteny (childlike exuberance), surprise (unexpected detours), and historical perspective (as in “someday you’ll look back on this and laugh”).”   We need to be funny as educators because we need our students to laugh.   We can use funny pictures that will help them remember the content and when they bring about the humor into it they have made a connection and will remember any meaningful information that you are trying to reach out to them.  Remember that it’s their laugh that makes knowledge stick.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 5: Making Connections

Synopsis:  Chapter 5

“Making Connections”

            In reading Chapter 5, it makes me realize how important it is for students to make connections.  How can you begin? Well, teaching the abstract and moving it into a concrete example.   Having many hands on activities is how learning is remembered. When we as parents build the foundation of our children at home it is easier for them to create and construct a concrete idea of whatever situation they encounter because of what they know.  They start using their prior knowledge which in turn makes them be productive individuals.  In making presentations you as a presenter must be ready to engage and not bore your audience.  A few activities mentioned in this chapter to be able to build on prior knowledge were having visuals, humor, sequencing on historical events and using digital flash cards.  We usually use our prior knowledge to predict.   When conducting a presentation, of course we want to involve our audience and make them have a meaningful and purposeful experience. In the 10:2 practice explained in the chapter the students pause for two minutes and discuss any open-ended content questions.  This makes their learning more relevant and helps them focus instead of listening to an hour lecture. 

            Using many technology applications can also help students or audience make connections by giving them tools which they will be able to visualize and get skills they need to be able to accomplish their goal.  An example they used in this chapter was “Wordle” which helps you organize and capture keywords that have been used frequently.  Connecting with your audience physically (as a participant) not just mentally plays a major role to keep them involved and interested.  Also keep in mind the language barrier, what kind of audience you will be presenting to.  Be amusing and add some humor to your presentation and just be ready to answer any questions your audience can present to you.  Using some of these techniques will make it easier for you as a presenter to be able to make connections with your audience and them to remember what was presented and not just think this is another boring presentation.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 4: Ringing Chimes2

Synopsis:  Chapter 4

“Ringing CHIMES2”

            In reading Chapter 4 being efficient and effective are two things we should accomplish as educators when giving a presentation. We need to teach it quickly and make sure it is absorbed.  From reading the previous chapter we know that one of the most important challenges for a presenter is first grabbing and then keeping the attention of an audience. If the presenter is unable to do this, the presentation might not succeed, no matter how valuable the content might be.  An example that was given in this chapter was “the way a presenter dresses can either help bring home a point or just distract the audience”.   You need to use hooks to keep them with you and not lose them.  The acronym Connections Humor Images Music Emotion Story Senses was a very neat way to remember how each element plays a role in presentations.  Depending on what hook or chime you are interested in, it will guide you to make an educational presentation memorable.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 3: Celebrating presenters

Synopsis:  Chapter 3

“Celebrating Presentations”

            In reading Chapter 3 giving presentations can be a trill, but attending them can be a complete bore. I am aware that most members of the audience have a short attention span and their attention drifts off after a while unless you keep them engaged through well-created presentation material and strong presentation skills.  This has made me realize how a presentation is a great opportunity for you to tell a story to an audience, if the presenter has the attitude, preparation, and has the manner of speaking.  The presentation material you prepare should not just have good content, but it should also be displayed well.  Three broad categories of presenters that were discussed in this chapter were the lecturer, which usually is a presenter who disconnects with the audience, the entertainer which results in distraction, and finally the motivational speaker who inspires and has an effect on you.  If you were to combine all three plus the fourth category, which is the educator, this would allow students to maintain and transfer learning from a meaningful presentation.  Steve Jobs a world class presenter listed ten tips you should try when presenting.  He says to have fun and present what you love, when you do these two steps you and your students will master all ten.  So your goal as a presenter is to engage the audience and in turn the audience to Teach It Forward.

Changes of Copyright Power point (1^st REVISION)

 As I read Chapter 1 and 2 of “they SNOOZE, you LOSE” it made me realize how much information I didn’t know about how slide shows should be.  I usually got bothered when I went to presentations because of how boring they were.  It made me upset at how they would read everything on the slide and they would give a handout that had the exact same thing on it.  As I reflect on this I realize that I have done the same thing.  This book so far has made me think that as a creator and viewer of slide shows I will now focus on tweaking my presentations and create slides and handouts that are more appealing, but meaningful to my audience.  What I revised on my power point was changed the background color to green, I emphasized the most important words with a yellow color and I also changed the font to Verdana.  I capitalized the first letter to the title and made sure that the top line started at the left hand corner.  I also limited the word use and added some pictures.  These two chapters were very interesting and informative.  Now I believe I will effectively be able to use the suitable suggestions when it comes to templates, color, and type by Burmark to tweak my presentation and also in creating slides and handouts.

Sara Aldape 6340.64 Chapter 2: Creating Slides and Handouts

Synopsis:  Chapter 2

“Creating slides and handouts”

            In reading Chapter 2 of “they Snooze, you Lose” it says that you have two categories in which presenters fall into:  entertainment and educational purposes.  We as educators are responsible for our students learning and we must present slide shows to them in which they are meaningful.   This chapter states that the layout of the slides and the handouts that accompany the presentation is the best way to keep your audience attention.  We must learn to stop the standard slide share procedure, if I think about it, my power point is just that (bulleted text and if I were to present, handouts of the same power point).  Sadly, that is a waste of time because you will bore your audience to death.

            As Richard Mayer states, “The best way to foster learning involves both words and pictures.”[1] Photographic images and audio is how your audience is going to remember, keeping in mind that all extra information should be saved for your handout.  Your handout should be a supplement instead of a duplicate of your presentation.  It is suggested that it be one page with all the websites, URL’s, quotations, etc. that you have to credit.  The handout is like Burmark states, “a running record of what you’ve seen and experienced, what you want to remember, what you plan to follow up on, and maybe even some new ideas that you already got from her ideas.” (Burmark, 2011)

In conclusion, creating high-quality photographic slides with words and good-quality handouts will help the presenter be well organized and encourage the audience to have a meaningful presentation to remember.

Synopsis:  Chapter 1

Tweaking Presentations

“they SNOOZE you LOSE”

             In reading Chapter 1 of Mrs. Burmark’s book I realized how I can make my presentations more presentable and convincing.  As I was thinking about my copyright power point that I created, I realized how much detail I had put into it.  But, as I read Part 1 Evolution and how Burmark states, “this book is to persuade you and your students to transform your slide shows into bullet-free presentations” (Burmark, 2011) I thought to myself….WOW!!! The power point I created is full of bullets everywhere. It made me want to read and find out what advice she would give me, as a reader, to make a better power point my very best. 

Burmark states that, “to achieve maximum impact with minimal effort, the tweak-easy slideshow fixes will focus on three categories:  templates, color, and type.” (Burmark, 2011)  In choosing your template you should never compete with the content.  You need to choose a template that does not have elements that distract the viewer.  Color also plays a major role in creating slides and causes the eye to focus more on distinct colors than others.  As color guru Carlton Wagner explained, “The eye has an order in which it sees color.”[1]  I learned that color is a quick way to set the mood for your presentation and that the message you use must be consistent with the template.  Finally the “type” which deals with the number of words per slide, the typefaces, colors, and how to display the words is the last slideshow fix to tweak your presentation.  I read that the amount of words you put into your slide is important, of course the words you have in your slide must be displayed accordingly.  It is also appropriate that the first letter to the title be capitalized and your text should start on the left because the eye tends to scan from left to right.  It also suggested that you use fonts that have space between the letters. Using a typeface that is appropriate will help you to effectively communicate with your audience.  By successfully using these pointers by Burmark your presentations will be tweaked at their best.

Creating the Copyright presentation

My experience in creating the copyright presentation was overwhelming.  There was a lot of information that I did not have knowledge about. I learned a lot of new vocabulary dealing with the rights to copy and the rights we have as educators.   I do not know everything about copyright, but what I read about got me thinking of all the material that I use at school.
